Or even dance music broadly > considered? http://deephousepage.com does the trick for Chicago, and all things deep house (you can find a good deal of Ron Hardy, some Theo Parrish, some other Detroit folks here & there and the aforementioned Wizard mix there). However, no such place exists for techno to my knowledge. http://paxahau.com has some more recent stuff covered, which is good, but historically speaking I've never seen it or seen it mentioned on this list. I suspect this is because the base of the deephouse page was constructed around WBMX, the Oak Park radio station that used to feature the Hot Mix 5. The deep house page used to be explicitly focused on WBMX. I suppose there could be some people with old T-1000 and Mojo mixes around though - and there were other Detroit radio shows back then too, right? That would seem to me to be the place to start. Besides all of that there's an absurd number of legal issues about clearing the mix with the radio station, club, DJ, artists, etc if you want to be legit about it. I'm not sure how deephousepage gets around this. I know I've seen mixes pulled from their site, which indicates to me they fly by the seat of the pants with it. I'd be happy to help in any way I can if you can actually get this off the ground. It would be such a valuable project!
